The 37th Parallel: The Secret Truth Behind America’s UFO Highway Audiobook (Free)

A real-life mixture of The X-Files and Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind, Mezrich “writes vividly and grippingly…A terrific story…[that] can make a heck of the film” (The Washington Post). Here is the “fascinating” (Publishers Weekly) true tale of a computer programmer who songs paranormal events in remote regions of the western United States and is drawn deeper and deeper right into a mysterious conspiracy.

Like Agent Mulder from the X-Files, microchip engineer and sheriff’s deputy Chuck Zukowski is about The 37th Parallel: The Secret Truth Behind America’s UFO Highway enthusiastic about tracking down UFO reports in Colorado. He actually takes the family with him on weekend trips to look for evidence of aliens. But this innocent hobby assumes a sinister urgency when Zukowski discovers of mutilated livestock-whose exsanguination is certainly inexplicable by any known human being or animal means.

Along an expanse of land stretching over the southern edges of Utah, Colorado, and Kansas, Zukowski documents hundreds of bizarre incidences of mutilations, and discovers that they extend through the heart of America. His pursuit of the truth pulls him deeper into a huge conspiracy, and he journeys from Roswell and Region 51 to the Pentagon and beyond; from underground key armed service caverns to Local American sacred sites; and to wilderness areas where unusual, unexplained lights traverse the sky at outstanding rates of speed. Inspiring and terrifying, Mezrich’s “dramatic narrative…connects dots we didn’t even understand existed…Something’s clearly taking place out there in the high meadows and along desert highways” (Kirkus Evaluations). The 37th Parallel can make you, as well, question if we are really alone.
